War: a conflict between two or more forces.

Peace: a state of harmony and tranquility, free of civil warfare.

Friendship: a condition of being a beloved companion.

Love: an intense feeling of affection and care to one or others.

Duel Monsters: a trading card game that involves great strategy and arithmetic.

King of Games: a title for one who has become the greatest duelist in the current time.

Humankind cannot exist without these, but none are achieved on an easy path. It cannot gain anything within these words without first experiencing them firsthand. To obtain those experiences, one must go forth, take that first step out into the world, and be ready for when that day comes. That is part of growing up. One cannot stop the force of war with bringing forth peace without paying the price, which are usually devastating for most. Friendship and love cannot be achieved without having to experiencing others. Duel Monsters was meant to be a card game for fun and settlement between such conflicts. Taking up the title of the King of Games meant fame and fortune to others.

In those days, some amongst us really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth. And no title is without the responsibilities and duties it comes with.

Yu-Gi-Oh! GX

Senior Years

—————

One early morning, a tall brown-haired young man walked forth through the city. He is dressed in an old and tattered red and white blazer, his trousers have been reduced to trunks, his sneakers have worn out through miles of traveling, his hair is in a wild and long mess, yet in a way he's still a modern civilian and bathed sometime recently (although he needs to shave).

He said to himself, as he reached the a building that is on a hill behind the Kaiba Corporation building, "I hate long walks; it's nothing but no breaks." As soon as he reached the door of the building, he said more, "If only there was a restaurant and a hotel I could pig out and have a nice bed to sleep on… I'm starving and exhausted." Finally, he collapsed.

An elderly voice called out to him, "Hey, mister!" The young man, suddenly full of energy again, looked up and asked, "Yes?" He spotted an old man with a long white beard in a brown coat. He asked the elder, "Can I ask you what's this about?" The old man kindly asks, "Have you got any change?" The young man searched his pockets and handed him a palm full of coins.

The elder counted the coins while taking them, and in place of the coins he gave the younger man a whole stack of somehow special booster packs. "Thank you, young man." he got up and bowed before leaving. The young man lifted his chocolate eyes in wonder, why would a hobo give away Duel Monster booster packs in exchange for just spare change?

Then the young man decided, as the elder disappeared into the shadows, "What the hey, I'll see what's new… or old." He opened the first booster pack and the first card drawn from it was the original Kuriboh. Its spirit popped out from the card and greeted itself with the spirit of the Winged Kuriboh and danced in a circle with it around the young man, he smiled and said, "Must be a sign." before he decided to check the other cards he got from the old man.

—————

In a hotel room, three girls were beginning to wake up early. One of them, the only one who has curved black hair, yawned and said with a bright smile, "Good-bye days of junior level Duel Academy; hello senior year!" Another one of them, who has medium-length brown hair, said to her, "Mindy, I agree to what you're thinking." Mindy said to her, "Well, let's get ready, Jasmine!"

As Jasmine and Mindy went to get their uniforms on, the third one, with long light-brown hair sat on her bed, thinking about a special friend.

Suddenly she was 'attacked' from behind by Jasmine! Jasmine jealously says to her, "Lexi! How dare you get bigger and bigger than either Mindy or me over the years?" as she squeezed her friend's breasts so hard with her hands! Mindy gulped, "Uh, Jasmine… I think you're going to send her to the hospital if you do that." Alexis says, "At least I don't get dirty thoughts like the two of you! This just happened! Okay?"

—————

In another hotel room, unaware of the girls' room, four young men who are also going to senior students in Duel Academy are waking up. Two of them, a young man with bushy sky-blue hair and small round glasses (Syrus Truesdale) and a muscular young man with tanned skin and braided black hair (Tyranno Hassleberry), were arguing over who gets to be Jaden's sidekick this year. Another young man, stoic and intelligent (Bastion Misawa), sighs a little, but ignores the arguing completely as he finishes his studies. The fourth young man, with an over-stylish haircut, was placing on his black duster (Chazz Princeton) and groans out at the others (and under his breath), "Idiots."

—————

The next morning… as the new arrivals of freshman students arrived. The older students looked overhead in the balconies to see the future competition (and/or new friends). Funny thing is, Jaden Yuki is nowhere to be found.

A handsome young man with long black hair in a red coat sighs in disappointment, "I was looking forward to meeting this Mr. Jaden Yuki, if he is as good as you say he is, I'd like to make him a Kaiser of the Slifer Red dormitory."

Dr. Vellian Crowler (still has the same looks) snorts, "You've done enough for Duel Academia, Mr. Kaiba, including making dorms for female Ra Yellow students and Slifer Red students." The young man with black hair sighs, "Please, call me Mokuba. And I believe in equal rights."

(A.N: Yes, Mokuba Kaiba is going to be the new head of the male Slifer Red dorm. He is currently 24 years old at this time.)

Fonda Fontaine (this brunette hasn't changed much over the years) smiles as she watches the freshman-to-be, "Look at the promising young lady down there, and just with a practice deck." The girl she speaks of is a 15-year-old beauty in a typical sailor fuku school uniform with long golden-blonde hair. As her duel was finished, her proctor nods to her in congratulations, "Welcome to Obelisk Blue, Holly Murphy." She bows halfway as a way of thanks, "It would be an honor, sir."

Syrus was impressed with her dueling abilities, aside from her good looks, "That girl is phenomenal!" Bastion nods, "I agree. She made it into Obelisk Blue with no worries, no wrong marks on the written test, and a wonderfully played duel." Tyranno sighs, "Beauty and brains, complete with guts and heart."

Chazz scoffs, "Someone like her cannot match up to Alexis." Alexis, who was nearby, shrugs, "I don't know, Chazz. She completely fits in with all that but doesn't give a care about being in any superior dorms, it's someone I can agree with." Bastion asks, "And what about Jaden?" Alexis remembers, "I haven't seen him since summer vacation started!" Syrus nods in worry, "Yeah, it's been about two months since we've last seen him. If he doesn't show up… he'll be expelled."

Suddenly, a loud rhythmic banging and pounding was heard… everyone in the stadium all looked down at the source, a pressurized titanium door. Not only was the sound was coming from behind it; there must be someone is trapped inside it. The janitor of the stadium pressed a button to open the door and out came an 18-year-old man (the young man from early this morning) calmly walking into the stadium.

Dr. Crowler sneers at the mysterious creature, "Who are you?" The fella who pounded on the titanium door responds, "I guess I'm due for a haircut." Then he felt his face, "And maybe a shave." He lifts up his extended bangs to reveal his face——

"Jaden!" calls out everyone who knew him! Then everyone gathered around the carefree hero-using dude in Slifer Red in great joy to see him again!

Syrus asked, "Jay, what in the world have you been up to?" Jaden smiles, "My uncle sent me training on a remote island alone for a month and then again with him for another month on another island. The prizes for all that training was several numerous things you wouldn't believe." Bastion asks, "Including surviving on a few minutes of air in an airtight area for about two hours?" Jaden nods, "Yeah, Bastion." Tyranno asks, "What kind of place was that island, dude?" Jaden answers, "Pretty much your usual tropical islands, no other humans there but me, and later my trainer."

A very imposing and muscular man walks up to Jaden Yuki, everyone moved out of his way as he made it to Jaden. He appeared to be in his mid-30s and has a brown flattop haircut, and he is dressed in a blue muscle shirt, camouflage pants, and combat boots. While most were intimidated by his presence, Jaden was not.

Jaden saluted to him, "Sir." Jaden doesn't know that Dr. Crowler hired this military man into the Academy to kick him out of the school. But little did Dr. Crowler know—— "At ease, Private Yuki." As Jaden did, the man from the military said to the young man, "Dr. Crowler suggested that you are to be expelled as soon as I defeat you in a duel. What that overconfident superiority issue man has no idea that your father and I are good friends back when we were cadets. I'm not gonna kick you out; I'm going to let you stay for the rest of your school year. But let's duel before we go, for the fun of it." Jaden smiles, "Sounds great, let's throw down!"

Dr. Crowler was horrified; he hired a wrong man for the job! He scolded the soldier, "Now look here, Mr.——" The soldier corrected him, "That's Lieutenant Colonel Jeffrey Cruger, to you. And unlike you, I happen to like kids, regardless of ranking they've been given." Dr. Crowler stammered, "Okay, Colonel Cruger——" Principal Sheppard stepped up, "Didn't you forget that it was the policy of the government to enroll some green dormitories for those in need of discipline until they individually get further notice and the all-girls pink dormitories until they trust the males. So basically he's been selected to serve as green dormitories." Fonda nods, "As well as help get the students in shape in the new weightlifting classes." Dr. Crowler turned pale and then asks Colonel Cruger, "Why'd you take the check?" Cruger shrugs, "I needed the money to pay off my apartment mortgage."

Jaden smiles as he readies his duel disk, "Get your game on, Colonel." Colonel Cruger smiles back, "I plan to. But to make this more fun, we'll both start with 8,000 Life Points." Jaden agrees, "Sounds a lot more fun, Colonel Cruger." (Jaden: 8000 LP/Cruger: 8000 LP)

Jaden nods to him, "Age before beauty." Cruger grunts, "My pleasure. I draw… then I play Graceful Charity (spell card) to draw three cards and then discard two. I then summon Kinetic Soldier." A purple and blue humanoid automaton appeared before Cruger, it has a large multi-launcher attached to its left shoulder (Kinetic Soldier; machine-effect-Earth/L: 3/ATK: 1350/DEF: 1800).

Jaden confirms the monster's effect, "A deadly foe for most of the Elemental Heroes; since they're mostly warrior-type monsters and his DNA tracker only targets those of warriors, his attack power increases by 2000 points when he's in battle with one." Cruger nods, "Correct. Next is my spell card called Junk Dealer, it allows me to special summon two monsters from my graveyard but with only half their original attack power, and the ones I bring back are Cyber Soldier of Darkworld and Science Soldier." Another purple and blue mechanical fighter appeared (Cyber Soldier of Darkworld; machine-Dark/L: 4/ATK: 1400/DEF: 1200) as well as a warrior in technological battle armor wielding a blaster (Science Soldier; warrior-Dark/L: 3/ATK: 800/DEF: 800). (Cyber Soldier; ATK: 700) (Science Soldier; ATK: 400)

Jaden asks, "Where are you going with this?" Cruger answers, "I played these cards so I can tribute all three of them with the effect of my spell card, Sky Union, so I could specially summon my Air Fortress Ziggurat." A massive blue sky-traveling vehicle with white parts and multiple long-barreled cannons, finishing with a robot face in front appeared above the two duelists and replaced the three monsters Cruger set out! (Air Fortress Ziggurat; machine-effect-Wind/L: 8/ATK: 2500/DEF: 2000)

Syrus gapped, "It's humongous!" Bastion calculated, "It's practically even bigger than an airliner or the Mir space station!" Tyranno gulped, "There's no way anybody could build a vehicle that huge without considering the proper time of using it at the right time!"

Mokuba Kaiba came up to them and said, "I remember that monster card as if it were yesterday, but it wasn't a good day that time. That thing is capable of disabling almost any trap and spell card effects that affect it and destroy them, so cards like Dark Hole (spell card) and Mirror Force (trap card) won't work. At each of Cruger's turns, Ziggurat can create Robot Tokens to take the blows for it and any other monster on his side of the field. So it's practically invincible, like Godzilla."

A blue-tinged black-haired teenaged beauty came by and asks, "Then how can Jaden defeat it?" Mokuba confirms, "He'll need a monster with more attack points than Ziggurat and will have to defeat the Robot Tokens first." Dr. Crowler was amazed, "Wow, you're pretty good when comes to this card, Mr. Kaiba." Mokuba doesn't look away from the duel but responds to him, "I've learned these things from my travels with my brother; so I've gained some experience about learning to duel along the way."

Back with the duel, Cruger sighs, "That ends my turn with a Robot Token coming in to defend my Life Points and my Ziggurat." From the 'mouth' of Ziggurat's face dropped out a super-cool red, white, and blue humanoid robot with a golden crescent moon crest on its forehead (Robot Token; machine-token-Earth/L: 1/ATK: 0/DEF: 0) kneeling before Ziggurat but facing Jaden.

Jaden wasn't impressed, "Big deal, I've faced tougher monsters with more power than this. I summon Elemental Hero Burstinatrix in attack mode and add two cards facedown and end my turn." An acrobatic woman with long dark-silver hair flowing down her back and dressed in a red bodysuit (and mask) and a golden crown appeared in a flash of flames (Elemental Hero Burstinatrix; warrior-Fire/L: 3/ATK: 1200/DEF: 800), along with two facedown cards.

Cruger starts his turn, "Okay, I play Toy Robot Box (spell card) and discard three cards from my hand to bring out three Robot Tokens." Three more Robot Tokens appeared the same way the first one appeared. "Ziggurat, attack that superhero girl! Air Fortress Cannon Barrage!"

Jaden smirks, "Superheroes without super-special gadgets or superpowers; that's why I'm activating Metalmorph (trap card) to transform Burstinatrix into Elemental Hero Steel Burstinatrix!" The fire manipulating female Elemental Hero's bodysuit transmuted into a metallic red and silver Cybersuit complete with a ruby-like visor over her face (Elemental Hero Steel Burstinatrix)!

Cruger said, "Protecting her pretty face behind a mask with another won't help, Private Jaden." Jaden nods, "I agree, that's why I'm activating Hero Ring (trap card) and equipping her with it." A red and brown shield appeared in her left hand. "It can only be equipped to a warrior monster with 1500 or less attack points, but it can protect her from monsters with 1900 or more attack points, meaning you can't attack her." The cannon blasts bounced off the female Elemental Hero's shield like a bunch of tennis balls, she is saved!

Cruger was impressed, "Excellent work, Private Yuki. Your move." Jaden nods, "My pleasure…" he looked at the card he's drawn, "I play Pot of Greed (spell card) to draw two more from my deck. And one of these cards is sweet, Burst Impact (spell card)." Cruger interjects with a calm smile, "But that card can only work if you have Elemental Hero Burstinatrix on the field, but you have——" then he realized, "Steel Burstinatrix." Jaden nods, "That's right, she is Burstinatrix technically, but with a few superpowers through Metalmorph. Go, Burst Impact!"

Steel Burstinatrix created a bright ball of blue fire in her hand and unleashed it on Cruger's side of the field and the impact it caused destroyed the Robot Tokens (Cruger; 6800 LP) but not Ziggurat!

Jaden said, "I'm not done yet, I equip Steel Burstinatrix with the Elemental Sword (spell card/equip), which can increase her attack points by 800 when she's in battle with monster with a different element than her." A dark-blue hilt without a blade fell from above and landed into her free hand. Out from it sprang out a red blade-like beam as soon as she gave it a firm grip. (Elemental Hero Steel Burstinatrix; ATK: 2300)

Cruger asks, "She's 300 points short of an advantage over Ziggurat, so why bother attacking it?" Jaden explains, "Her best superpower yet is that she increases her attack power by the level of the monster she attacks multiplied by 200 points, and that Air Fortress' level is 8." The body of Elemental Hero Steel Burstinatrix glowed with blue-hot flames (Burstinatrix; ATK: 3900)! "Metal Buster Slash!" She jumps up, with new rocket jets in her boots' heels, propelling her towards the massive mechanical monstrosity, sword first, and melting a red-hot hole through it! It lost the glow in its eyes and plummeted to the ground exploding into a billion burning pieces and having the Cybersuit-wearing Burstinatrix unharmed! (Cruger; 5400 LP)

Mokuba made a proud fist and said, "Yes!" Dr. Crowler freaked, "Even Ancient Gear Golem couldn't stand up to an attack like that!"

The black-haired girl cheered, "I knew Jaden could do it!" Holly smiles with joy, "That Elemental Hero Steel Burstinatrix is certainly a force to be reckoned with, I like her!" Bastion was amazed and so he said, "That Elemental Hero Steel Burstinatrix is truly a human bullet." before fainting in relief. Syrus and Tyranno cheered, "Alright! Way to go, Jaden!"

Chazz freaked (in his head) but kept his cool (on the outside), "I would've taken that thing down easily." The Ojama Trio spirits appeared around Chazz and gulped, "Even we couldn't do something like that!" A familiar handsome silver-haired young man in a white suit (Aster Phoenix), "He just made a risky move and blasted through a battleship out of the sky."

While other onlookers cheer on, Alexis just smiles, "It took just two turns to take it down, but Jaden defeated the mighty Ziggurat."

Cruger felt proud for Jaden, "Excellent, Private Jaden, excellent! But by delivering 1000 or more points of damage to me as a result of battle will force me to bring out a useful fiend monster called Ruclomba the Spirit King." A reptile-like being with long black hair protruding from his head appeared (Ruclomba the Spirit King; fiend-effect-Dark/L: 8/ATK: 1000/DEF: 2000)!

Jaden was surprised, "What's so useful about him?" Cruger said, "If you let me start my turn, I'll start spilling." Jaden nods to signal he's free to go. Cruger draws a card, "One of his effects is that whenever I receive 1000 points of damage from battle, I can special summon this card from my deck and then shuffle it. I can also sacrifice this card to summon all the monsters in my hand as long as they each have 2000 or less attack points." Jaden said, "But you have one card in your hand."

Cruger shook his finger at Jaden, "Not anymore, this famous spell known as Card of Sanctity, which by the way comes as each two card don't have the same effects even though they each have the same name, has us each to draw until we're both holding six cards."

(A/N: It's true; there were reports of some Card of Sanctity spell cards with the TV show effect instead of the more common version.)

Cruger sighs, "And lucky me: I've four plus another Ruclomba." The first Ruclomba vanished in a purple glowing cloud, while another took the original's place in defense mode. "There's also Overdrive, Oni Tank T-34, Prototype Machine King, and KC-1 Clayton."

A green four-wheeled battle vehicle with a machine gun on top came first (Overdrive; machine-Earth/L: 4/ATK: 1600/DEF: 1500), then came a tank with four wheels instead of caterpillar tracks and a horned red demon face in front (Oni Tank T-34; machine-Earth/L: 4/ATK: 1400/DEF: 1700), then came a red, white, and yellow mechanical humanoid automaton on a throne (Prototype Machine King; machine-effect-Earth/L: 3/ATK: 1600/DEF: 1500), and finally came a large green battle tank with a white KC insignia on the side of the cannon turret (KC-1 Clayton; machine-effect-Earth/L: 4/ATK: 2000/DEF: 1200).

Jaden sighs, "And your Prototype Machine King gains 100 additional attack points for each machine on the field except for itself?" Cruger nods, "That's right." (Prototype Machine King; ATK: 1900) Cruger also says, "I also play the spell card, Fruits of the Future's Technology, to draw two cards for every machine card on the field." Now he's holding eight cards.

"But that's not the point, I play the Anti-Trap Shovel Claw (spell card/equip) and equip it to my Ruclomba, therefore making him capable of preventing any trap card on the field from activating and negating any trap effects active, and as an additional bonus, he gains 1000 points added to his attack power." A silvery spade-shaped claw attachment illuminating with a red-colored electrical aura appeared and got itself strapped to the chosen monster's right hand (or claw) (Ruclomba the Spirit King; ATK: 2000).

Cruger speaks some more, "I also play Clockwork Knight (spell card/continuous) to turn all non-machines on your side of the field into machine monsters and reducing their attack strength by 500 points but increases all of my machine monsters' attack power by 500 points." (Overdrive; ATK: 2100) (Oni Tank T-34; ATK: 1900) (Prototype Machine King; ATK: 2400) (KC-1 Clayton; ATK: 2500)

Jaden asks, "Are really going to attack?" Cruger said, "That's right, your Steel Burstinatrix is only powerful if she attacks a monster, so my Ruclomba will attack her in her weakened state when she is defending you with a now useless shield, at only 1800 attack points." With one shriek, Ruclomba sped across the field and drew close to sank his teeth into the Elemental Hero's arm——

Everyone closed their eyes before the final moment before Steel Burstinatrix was going to be gnawed. CHUNK!

Jaden sarcastically but confidently asks, "What's the matter, you demonic lizard? Can't find the good taste?" Steel Burstinatrix followed and spoke up "Eat air and ground." as she kicked Ruclomba high into the air and crashed onto the Colonel, she finished by saying "Full of pure energy and high in fiber." Just before exploding into pixels.

Cruger asks, "Don't tell me, young man; Steel Burstinatrix has the powers of both a machine and a warrior?" Jaden nods, "Yes. Her attack didn't go down by 500 points thanks to your Clockwork Knight, it went up." (Elemental Hero Steel Burstinatrix; ATK: 2800) (Cruger; 4600 LP) "Okay, I play Heavy Storm (spell card) to destroy all spells and traps on the field, it may cost me my Clockwork Knight but your Elemental Sword and Hero Ring are gone." A strong wind blew away the Elemental Sword and shattered the Hero Ring shield! "I'll just set five cards on my field and end my turn."

Jaden smiles as he draws his new card, "For the record, this duel is starting to become sweet! First I play the spell Cold Wave to freeze all spell and traps on the field" A 'cold wave' came by and froze Cruger's facedown cards over. "Then I present to you Xenohistoric Being Whirlwind Wolf!"

Everyone was surprised——

Dr. Crowler asks, "Xeno what?"

Syrus and Tyranno ask in unison, "What does that mean?"

Aster and Alexis were shocked, "What's a Xenohistoric Being?"

Jaden answers as whirlwinds picked up around him, "'Xenohistory' means 'history of the unknown', history that is not known to humanity… discovered and being deciphered… and harnessed to its maximum potential. Xenohistoric Beings include magical beasts that roam the world defending the world of a mankind who couldn't possibly comprehend their true meaning of existence."

The answer came to them as a silvery wolf with whirlwinds surrounding it. (Xenohistoric Being Whirlwind Wolf; beast-effect-Wind/L: 3/ATK: 1200/DEF: 800) Jaden explains, "His special power is this; he can run so fast, your monsters won't be able to protect you from his attack as its strikes you directly and destroy all of your facedown trap or spell cards within the attack, or return them to our hands."

"Next is Xenohistoric Being Volcano Swallow." A puppy-sized red-tailed purple swallow bird appeared. (Xenohistoric Being Volcano Swallow; winged beast-effect-Fire/3/ATK: 1000/DEF: 1000) "When he attacks, the number of Xenohistoric Beings on the field determines big his power is going to be devastating: each on determines how many defense position monsters he'll destroy without actually attacking them."

"I also summon Xenohistoric Being Mountain Tortoise." Another strange creature appears; a big brown tortoise, he's bigger than even Ziggurat. (Xenohistoric Being Mountain Tortoise; reptile-effect-Earth/L: 3/ATK: 800/DEF: 2000) "His mighty footstep forces all of your monsters to switch to defense mode but his arrival grants each monster on my side of the field 2 Rocky Defense Counters, which will give each monster a chance to survive until their individual third time being attacked." As the tortoise took his first heavy footstep and shook the whole field!

Jaden continues, "I also play Mountain Tortoise Gold Nuggets (spell card), now whenever a spell counter or Rocky Defense Counter is removed, I get to draw 1 card for each counter."

Jaden goes on with his first attack, "Go for the first attack Whirlwind Wolf, cyclone dash!" The Whirlwind Wolf moved at an incredible speed, creating and enveloping his body in a cyclone! That cyclone cleared the field of all of Cruger's frozen trap cards! (Cruger; 3400 LP)

The red-tailed purple bird flew high above the other monsters and delivered massive fireballs onto three of the mechanical beings, before crashing into the Prototype Machine King (Jaden; 7,500 LP), which the transformed Elemental Hero took the honors of destroying by firing a missile of flames from her right fist!

That left the Mountain Turtle to shake the ground one more time. (Cruger; 2600 LP)

Cruger asks, "What's the catch with the Xenohistory monsters, Private Jaden? They've multiplied and swarmed me like crazy!" Jaden sighs, "About that, since I've special summoned them… I have to return them to my hand at the end of my turn. To protect my hand that's about to be really full, I play Infinite Cards (spell card/continuous) to grant our hands no limit." Then the mysterious beasts vanished from the field and into Jaden's hand, then due to the effect he draws 6 more cards, giving him a hand of 11 cards.

Cruger found himself in a pickle, but he smirks, "I've gotta hand it to ya, Jaden Yuki, you've got guts and smarts. But I've got nothing but three useless equip spell cards. Make your move."

Jaden salutes as he draws his next card, "With honors, sir. I play Fake Hero (spell card) to special summon 1 monster from my hand until the end of my turn, until then just like my Xenohistoric Beings, he's gone from the field and back to my hand. The monster I'm choosing to special summon is a new Elemental Hero; Elemental Hero Xenohistorian!" A handsome and muscular human male with long wild brown hair and dressed in old leather barbarian garments appeared before Jaden.

Jaden smirks, "Next I play Xenohistorical Jungle (spell card/field)!" The entire place exploded into a mysterious jungle! Jaden explains, "Whenever I draw something related to 'Xenohistorical', 'Xenohistoric', 'Xenohistorian', and/or 'Xenohistory' I get to draw once more. Plus whenever a card should place in my graveyard, it goes back into my deck next turn and then I shuffle it. Another powerful ability of this card is that I can increase the attack and defense of each card from Xenohistory by 500 points."

Jaden continued, "Time for Contact Fusion (process of fusing monsters together by sending the fusion material monsters into the deck shuffling it while fusion summoning the fusion monster), to fuse Elemental Hero Xenohistorian and Xenohistoric Being Whirlwind Wolf together to form Elemental Hero Xeno-Wolf Whirlwind!"

In place of the two monsters fusing together, came a tall and incredibly handsome man with long jet-black hair and dressed in silvery wolf skin garments. (Elemental Hero Xeno-Wolf Whirlwind; warrior-fusion-effect-Wind/L: 8/ATK: 3100/DEF: 2500)

Mindy and Jasmine became heart-shaped eyes at the mere sight of the monster, "Those gorgeous legs!" their comment started to lead on to a lot of the other girls and they followed into the trace they fell under.

Chazz was amazed, "That guy almost looks just like me!" Atticus Rhodes (who fell back to the same year as his sister) became jealous over Jaden's monster, and it showed on his face.

Cruger asks, "What does this card do, Private Yuki?" Jaden answers, "This card can attack my opponent's Life Points directly. But also when he attacks, I get to choose which spell and/or traps cards on the field to negate the effects of and destroy them, as well as force you to discard your hand of your spell or trap cards." Cruger showed no fear in his smile, "Go ahead! I'm ready for defeat… Sergeant Yuki."

Jaden said, "Go, Xeno-Wolf Whirlwind!" The monster called out "Cyclone Dash!" before dashing through the jungle and creating a whirlwind from behind him! He took off in a single bound and began to ride on his cyclone like a cowboy as it crashed its way to Colonel Cruger! (Cruger; 0 LP)

Jaden removes his blazer from the overheat but proudly says, "And that's game!" Colonel Cruger walks up to Jaden, examines his back, "You've really had it rough in the training." Jaden nods, "I understand. I'll tell them all someday." Then the two of them shake hands.

Holly smiles, 'Jaden, you've certainly gotten much stronger than before.'

To be continued…
